    An Excellent Show To Grow On

    Franklin is an every-turtle who is constantly exploring and discovering his world alongside his family and friends. He and his friends enjoy swimming, playing outdoors, and going to school. You heard that right, they actually enjoy school. Franklin has some great adults in his life such as his parents, his friends' parents, Mr Owl, and other relatives. The kid characters are very cool as well, including Franklin himself, Bear, Beaver, Fox, Goose, Rabbit, Otter, Snail, Badger, Skunk, Raccoon, Mole, Possum, and Moose. The problems and situations in the show are very relatable to a child (they were to me at least). Some of these include wanting a pet, having sleepovers, going to camp, losing teeth, starting school, having a friend move away, getting a new sibling, being afraid to go in the basement etc. Here is a rare show that celebrates the innocence of childhood.

    Great show

    Even as an adult I love this show. It brings me back to the simplicity of childhood.

    I like this show (well I used to)

    I would watch this how all the time. It was funny, and entertaining, and just a great show. The characters were great and the story-lines were suberb. Then all of the sudden, they started introducing new characters like crazy, and Bear started wearing a blue vest that made him look gay. That's when I stopped watching. If you want to watch Franklin, make sure it's the original episodes.

    2D = success. 3D = change the channel

    The 2d version was the best and main attraction to treehouse next to berenstain bears, blues clues and calliou.

    The reboot 3d version was, well it sucked. The characters are to different and jolly that it's sick to my stomach.

    An excellent program for children

    It is educational, with charismatic characters and a nice atmosphere; recommended for young children.

    • Trivia
      Many stories in the first season of the program were based upon book releases from the "Franklin" series. This practice was abandoned entirely beginning with the second season, though some stories still featured minor references to events or dialog from the storybooks.
    • Crazy credits
      The first 9 episodes all aired in 1997, however, episodes 1 to 3 have a 1998 copyright date in the credits, while the rest have a 1997 copyright date.
